Tehran 2009: The artist A. participates in the protest movement against the ayatollah’s regime. But when the security apparatus sets its sights on him, he has no choice but to flee the country. Memories of a childhood and youth full of violence accompany him. In Austria, the artist becomes a displaced person despised by others, sometimes secretly, sometimes openly. An odyssey through a series of shelters for asylum seekers begins. Hunger and racism consume his daily life. In Vienna he meets Sarah, who wants to help him — and who in the process falls hopelessly in love with him. What happens when kindness turns into imposition? In his debut novel, Amir Gudarzi tells the story of humiliation and perseverance, of love and contradiction.

Gudarzi, was born in Tehran and has lived in Vienna since 2009. He has received numerous awards for his texts, including the Hermann Hesse Award for promising and accomplished young writers. This production will be staged by TEATA’s artistic director Sara Ostertag, who is known for her extravagant scenic imagination, with live music by the sound poet Paul Plut and costumes by Romana Zöchling, the fashion designer behind the label Ferrari Zöchling, who will be making her theater debut with this project.

I’m staying, and that is the resistance.
Das Ende ist nah, Amir Gudarzi
